  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We had an amazing time on our cruise. Our tour guide/captain was Far…he did a great job of keeping fun, informative and lively. We were given detailed historical facts that intrigued our desire to learn more about the city as well as he did a great job of sprinkling in humor to keep it interesting. I highly recommend this canal cruise.

    This tour was a huge highlight of my trip in Amsterdam. The captain, Erik, interweaves the history of the city with personal history, as well as well-timed humor. The food is nice, we were all warm enough on a chilly evening, and the pacing was excellent. It’s more expensive than a lot of Amsterdam tours, but was really worth it!

    This is the best way to experience the city. Flip (spelling) took us on an adventure. Up and over canals, streets, through the park. Stopped often to provide insight to the area of the city we were in. Great variety and so worth it! Saw far far more and learned more in a short period of time we had in the city.

    We had a wonderful afternoon with Gerard. Such a lovely human and we loved learning about food, history and culture from a native. No food duds on this tour. Everything was delicious! Thank you!

    It was a fantastic 3 hours spent with David. David loves history and is passionate about sharing the knowledge during the tour. The knowledge combined with humour just makes the 3 hours pass by quickly and one is left with an interesting perspective of Amsterdam's history through the past few centuries.

    Ewald was a great guide. His tour highlights all of the major pieces you want to see and goes into details about their lives and the symbolism behind the finer details of the works. I highly recommend.

    Frank was my guide for the Van Gogh museum. I enjoyed it so much I immediately booked a tour with Frank for the Rijks Museum, and fortunately he was available. Frank provided depth to the experience that you cannot find in any book or in any audio recording. And, because it is a small, personalized tour, you can go at your own pace and ask questions. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

    Bass was an awesome guide. The boat was beautiful and easy to find. We really enjoyed the information given about the city and canals we were on and Bass interacted with everyone on the boat. The wine and beer selections were great and we highly recommend this tour. Only heads up..when he reverses it is loud.

    Fun cruise but not very interactive. You basically wear headsets and cruise around. Was not fun for the kids but to enjoyed the quiet.

    Great boat tour, we only went with the tour and didn’t choose the cheese and wine option we are happy with our choice. The tour was fantastic with so many interesting facts being told along the way. The tour guides were fantastic - there was such a chill vibe on the boat. Would highly recommend.
